Chan-wook Park's Stoker :-
A Very good Mystery drama all the way. Be it captured in a wonderful Lush green stunning backgrounds or the thrilling background scores , this movie takes its values in every aspect. Story revolves around a rich girl ( India Stoker by Mia Wasikowska ) , his mom Evie ( Nicole Kidman ) who living in a lushly parse huge family estate and how their life turns up after India's father passes out in a tragic accident followed by sudden n surprise introduction of her uncle ( CHarlie by Mathew ) . India is a much reserved girl who doesn't accept changes much . below quote would say more about her
" My ears hear what others cannot hear; small faraway things people cannot normally see are visible to me. These senses are the fruits of a lifetime of longing, longing to be rescued, to be completed. Just as the skirt needs the wind to billow, I'm not formed by things that are of myself alone. I wear my father's belt tied around my mother's blouse, and shoes which are from my uncle. This is me. Just as a flower does not choose its color, we are not responsible for what we have come to be. Only once you realize this do you become free, and to become adult is to become free ~ India Stoker "
With this said , its about how India accepts her uncle into family whom she never ever saw before when her dad was alive , later she starts to find the motives behind her uncles presence and reacts to the situation and how she sorts out things falls rest of the story .
I am sure if this would have been the same if it wasnt Chan-wook Park. Story i wouldn't say its something out of the blue , a very normal family mystery but the way India stoker ( Mia ) performed brings more light to the movie . Without her there is no stroke in stoker. Awesome movie , the picturization depicting how india see things , hear sounds with her own thoughts was meticulously done. But it just doesn't end it, If there was no Uncle character there , this movie would have never got the spice in it. Mathew as Uncle Charlie with his cool looks and sneaky character fit to the role very perfectly. I would say its more of a musical drama then of a movie. Very melancholic at times , very touchy at most and very tempting at least. Its not about the story or the script . Its about the perfect screenplay and fit perfect cast in hands of master Chan-wook Park . But one must admit , patience is much needed to watch through it and enjoy the real beauty of this celluloid wonder. A Must watch for Mystery Drama watchers . DO not miss it.
